Radeon RX 9070 To Be Announced Later This Month; Will Go On Sale In March

Expert Verified By

Leaked Benchmarks Hint At Impressive Performance, But Can AMD Nail The Price?

Story Highlight
  • RX 9070 announcement expected in late February, likely timed with RTX 5070 release.
  • Leaked benchmarks show strong performance, potentially rivaling the RTX 4080, but pricing remains uncertain.
  • AMD’s mid-range success depends on aggressive pricing to offset weaknesses in ray tracing, upscaling, and drivers.

AMD is still silent, but according to the latest reports, the Radeon RX 9070 will be announced at the end of February. A fairly plausible date considering that all the leaks indicate that these graphics cards will go on sale next March.

That end of February is not surprising either. A date that could be translated as “We will announce Radeon RX 9070 when the RTX 5070 hits the market to adjust the price“. 

In January, AMD cancelled the official announcement of its Radeon RX 9070. On January 23, we learned that it was supposed to go on sale that day, but it had also been cancelled. We learned this because AMD had all the advertising scheduled and forgot to remove it until it was public.

AMD Radeon RX 9070 benchmarks
AMD Radeon RX 9070 Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 benchmarks show staggering results that are comparable to RTX 4080.

Performance tests were leaked, and AMD said that the final performance was going to be better than the leaked one. After the delay, at least they have taken advantage of the time to optimize the software.

The latest was on January 27th, when it was revealed that the Radeon RX 9070 XT was going on sale for $899. The Radeon RX 9070 was going to be priced at $749. An executive later denied the report, saying that was not the price. When asked, he said the price was lower. And when asked to elaborate, he said that we’ll know later

Considering the poor generational leap of the RTX 50 series in comparison with the previous Nvidia offering, AMD might have a chance this time to dominate the mid-range segment but it all depends on the pricing. 

Otherwise, as we saw with the Radeon RX 7000 Series, AMD will end up offering “the same” as NVIDIA at a slightly lower price. “The same” because we’re talking about rasterization performance.

But in the end, an inferior graphics card in terms of Ray Tracing performance, upscaling technology, and drivers support. So we’ll see what happens this time. The price has to be reduced a lot to overcome these disadvantages.

What’s your take on the Radeon RX 9070? Will it be able to dominate the mid-range market considering the performance lift from Nvidia in the RTX 50 series is not that great? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.
